Shortfall Funding
If City commits to funding 50% of total project costs, additional $5.2 million is required, for a total contribution of $11.7 million
➢ The City has $29
million in
capital reserves,
for projects outlined in City's
long-term capital
planning
documents
(FFP,

HBMP, CIP)
Over next several years, $20 million from the reserves are for projects such as Balboa Island Drainage System and Balboa Library & Fire Station ➢ Significant projects are in the long-term horizon (ten plus years) including the Newport Pier, Balboa Pier & Balboa Island Seawall projects General Fund operating surpluses, pay off of long-term liabilities will be some of the strategies to provide funding to support the City's long-term capital needs in the future

Temporary Gap Funding
The Library Foundation proposed contribution would be structured with $7 million placed in escrow prior to contract award and $4.7 million funded from donations over next three years
➢ Depending on the timing of the donations and construction, the City would need to temporarily allocate up to $4.7 million for the portion of the project to be repaid by the Foundation over the next three years, in addition to the City's contribution
